Artificial Womb Soldier Program

The Artificial Womb Soldier Program was a military program developed by Weston-Yamada to bolster the ranks of the United Nations Marine Corps.

All soldiers in the Artificial Womb Soldier Program human soldiers are made via artificial insemination, grown in synthetic wombs and then raised in a communal military environment that teaches them everything they need to know to be a Marine. Artificial Womb soldiers are brainwashed from birth to be the "perfect" marine, with a 99.98 success rate. However, the program has been criticized by civilian politicians within the United Nations due to the eighteen year period it takes to raise, train and prepare AW marines.

AW Marines are engineered without genetic or birth defects, rendering them impervious to most common hereditary conditions including congenital mental illnesses.

AW marines are known to be extremely desensitized and not disturbed by extreme violence, in many cases AW marines are known to have very little regard for their personal preservation when it benefits to see the end of a mission. However, there have been rare instances where AW Marines develop common mental health issues, usually after being "humanized" through interactions with other Marines.

To avoid any unintentional mix-ups, each artificial womb soldier's legal name is marked with the middle initials "A.W." and has the surname of a weapon made before 1975, as well as a normal first name.

While AW marines are not known to be civilians or seen outside of the Marine Corps, in uncommon cases some AW marines who have received crippling or discharge worthy wounds have been given rehab and reintroduced into the civilian workforce, with many working in the military industrial complex.
